n Attenuator
The attenuator prevents desired signals from distort-
ing when very strong signals are near the desired fre-
quency, or when very strong electric fields, such as
from broadcasting stations are near from your loca-
tion.
The attenuator can be set to both or either band sep-
arately, and the attenuation level can be set for each
band independently.
➥ Push [ATT] to turn the attenuator ON and OFF.
